Founded in the mid 90's by vocalist/bassist Bennard Slaton and Drummer Mark Dixon, Truth Of Fiction teamed up with Eric Sands through an ad in an Atlanta entertainment newspaper searching for a flashy guitarist. Often described as a combination of King's X, Living Color and early Lenny Kravitz, Truth Of Fiction combines elements of hard rock, funk and metal with a nod towards guitar heroes of the 70's and 80's. According to Sands, "Most of the material is an exercise in blending heavy rock with funk and R&B elements". You can hear the vast influences in their material as Sands adds that, "Bands I listened to were Black Sabbath, Zeppelin, Jeff Beck, Trower, Judas Priest, Rainbow, Johnny Winter, Pat Travers, etc., so I'm not surprised it comes through in my playing". Though their music is not what most people would deem as 'flavor of the month', the material is very radio friendly - which is to their advantage.
